Tigers' Drew Sommers: Charged with loss Saturday
Sommers (0-3) allowed one run on two hits in two innings of relief and was charged with the loss in Saturday's 4-3 defeat to the White Sox. He walked one and struck out four.
The lefty reliever pitched decently but was charged with a tough-luck loss in the middle part of Saturday's contest after starter Troy Melton covered just 4.1 innings. Sommers has only been asked to log 22 frames so far this season in the majors, though he's mostly been sharp despite the winless record with a 3.68 ERA and 34 strikeouts. The southpaw doesn't have a ton of fantasy appeal at the moment, however, given his role in the middle of Detroit's bullpen.

Tigers' Eduardo Valencia: Pops another home run Saturday
Valencia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two total RBI in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox.
While he's stuck behind Dillon Dingler on the depth chart, Valencia has managed to carve out some standalone fantasy value with his bat. The 26-year-old rookie has gone deep twice in his last three games and has six home runs overall through 18 contests to go along with a robust 1.291 OPS. Dingler has been excellent in his own right, so Valencia is highly unlikely to surpass him as Detroit's top catcher anytime soon, though the Tigers could find more opportunities to get both sluggers into the lineup moving forward, with Valencia a prime candidate to serve as the DH.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Three hits against ChiSox
Torres went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox.
The second baseman did his job setting the table, but the heart of Detroit's order couldn't take advantage. Torres has three multi-hit efforts in his last four games, and through 13 contests in August he's batting .288 (15-for-52) with three homers, 10 RBI and 11 runs.

Tigers' Troy Melton: Inefficient in no-decision Saturday
Melton didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox, giving up three runs on nine hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out four.
It was the shortest outing of the season for Melton, who got the hook after 87 pitches (56 strikes) with the score tied 3-3. The right-hander continues to be stingy with long balls -- he didn't give up a homer for a fourth straight start Saturday, and since the beginning of July he's been taken deep just once in eight trips to the mound, posting a 1.16 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 48:16 K:BB over 46.2 innings. Melton will look to bounce back in his next start, which is set to come on the road next weekend in Kansas City.

Tigers' Max Clark: Sitting Saturday
Clark isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
The lefty-swinging Clark will receive his first day off since arriving in the big leagues as the Tigers prepare to face left-hander Anthony Kay. Ben Malgeri, Javier Baez and Corey Julks will form Detroit's outfield trio Saturday.

Tigers' Ben Malgeri: First multi-homer game of career
Malgeri went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI during the Tigers' 9-5 loss to the White Sox on Friday.
Malgeri put the Tigers on the board in the second inning with a two-run homer before adding a solo blast in the seventh. It was the first multi-homer game of Malgeri's major-league career, and he's up to three long balls on the season. Since making his big-league debut June 23, he's gone 15-for-53 (.283) with 10 RBI and five extra-base hits.

Tigers' Jackson Jobe: Rocked for six runs in loss
Jobe (1-1) took the loss against the White Sox on Friday, allowing six runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out four across 3.2 innings. He also hit two batters.
Jobe limited Chicago to one run through three innings, but the floodgates were opened in the fourth, when he gave up home runs to Tristan Peters and Munetaka Murakami before yielding a two-run triple to Braden Montgomery. Jobe is still shaking off the rust, as Friday's start was only his second since his return from Tommy John surgery. He's lined up to face the Pirates on the road next week.

Tigers' Michael Siani: Signs with Tigers
Siani signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Friday, Emily Waldon of Baseball America reports.
Siani was released by the Orioles on Aug. 4 but will now receive an opportunity to carve out a role for himself in the Tigers organization. However, the 27-year-old outfielder has slashed just .178/.294/.256 across 214 plate appearances in Triple-A this year and isn't likely to offer anything more than organizational depth.

Tigers' Kenley Jansen: Up to 15 saves
Jansen delivered a perfect ninth inning Thursday to earn the save in a 3-0 win over the Guardians.
It was encouraging to see Jansen turn in a clean inning Thursday, after he had given up a run in two of his last three appearances. The veteran closer has now converted 15 of his 19 save chances this season, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 37:20 K:BB across 32.2 innings.

Tigers' Keider Montero: Blanks Cleveland
Montero (9-7) earned the win Thursday over the Guardians, allowing three hits and a walk over 6.1 scoreless innings. He didn't record a strikeout.
Montero wasn't overpowering Thursday, though he limited hard contact to hold the Guardians scoreless in an eventual 3-0 shutout victory. Montero has now gone at least six innings in each of his last three starts, though he did give up five runs and a pair of homers his last time out against the Giants. Through 128.2 innings this season, Montero sports a solid 3.22 ERA with a 0.99 WHIP and 86:29 K:BB. He's tentatively slated to face the Pirates on the road his next time out.

Tigers' Trei Cruz: Summoned from minors
The Tigers recalled Cruz from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.
Cruz is 0-for-5 with three strikeouts during his brief time in the majors this season and has also struggled at Toledo with a .230/.306/.309 battling line. The Tigers' outfield has been hit hard by injuries, which could allow the defensively-versatile Cruz some playing time.

Tigers' James Outman: Sidelined with concussion
The Tigers placed Outman on the 7-day concussion injured list Thursday.
Outman was struck on the chin by an Erik Sabrowski pitch in Wednesday's loss to the Guardians. He remained in the game, but subsequent testing revealed the need for a trip to the concussion IL. It's unclear how long Outman might be sidelined.

Tigers' Framber Valdez: Wild in loss
Valdez (7-8) took the loss versus the Guardians Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits and five walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out three.
Valdez struggled to find the zone consistently Wednesday, with 64 of his 102 pitches going for strikes. The five walks were also the most given up by Valdez since April 24, and the uneven outing came after back-to-back seven inning quality starts. The 32-year-old is slated to face the Pirates in his next start early next week.
